the last time before my complete fertile period we had u.p. sex was aug 8th. according to all the calculators my most fertile day was aug 10....is it possible for fertilization to still have occured? for some reason i don't think my body is ever going to do it. would the sperm have last in me from aug 8 to aug 10 in time to create a new life?

In a warm, wet environment, sperm can last up to 72 hours, so yes, there is definitely a chance of conception-good luck!

It worries me to see all these woman asking all of these basic questions about their bodies and their cycles….and then getting all these different answers – and usually most of these answers are WRONG!
This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive. My Doctor recommended it to me and after 1 year of trying I got the book. It worked the very next month. It turns out that my timing was wrong due to mis-information. I hope it helps you, too! It's not only about getting pregnant. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

Listen to jachooz and read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It will answer pretty much every question you've asked here (except for the ones about good baby names!) Seriously, it's an awesome book and I recommend it to ALL women even if you're not trying to conceive... you'll be amazed by how much you didn't learn in school about how your body works.

Sperm actually takes a little bit of time to travel up the fallopian tube and meet the egg..there is still a good chance, yes..

yes it is possible, sperm can last up to 48 hours in the body. Plus you don't really know for sure every month when you ovulate. Sex itself can trigger ovulation if you are close.

of course it is very possible. Male sperm can last 72 hours, female sperm can last 6-7 days.

What is u.p. sex??
Oh yeah, sperm can live for days...forget exactly how many, but more than a couple.

sperm have a short life span. only last a few hours. even if they can last longer they will be too weak to penetrate a egg to fertilise it.
